Alaska

Crashed into the Bering Sea shortly after takeoff from a sand beach at Big Creek. The aircraft was destroyed and all five occupants were injured.
Here is the testimony from Jim Larison who was on board to make a documentary for PBS at the time of the accident:
The C-119 aircraft was attempting to take off, but the aircraft could not make lift off speed in time to avoid having to turn right along the beach. As the pilot attempted to turn right we began sliding sideways. The farther right we turned the more the wind became a factor. The aircraft could not gain sufficient airspeed but the speed was great enough that we were light on our wheels so could not make the turn either. Centrifugal force drove us sideways toward the sea. The pilots straightened it up and tried to lift off but we did not have sufficient airspeed to make it into the air. We went out into the Bering Sea perhaps a quarter mile before stalling. The aircraft crashed into the sea and was torn to pieces. The cockpit ended up underneath the fuselage under about 10 feet of water. I was trapped in the wreckage under the fuselage. The pilot came back into the aircraft and freed me from the wreckage. There was no fire. There were five people on board. Luckily no fatalities but survivors were airlifted to Anchorage for medical care. Aircraft was eventually pulled out of the sea and now rests at the mouth of Big Creek in a sand dune.

During initial climb, the cargo shifted, causing the aircraft to stall and to crash in flames within the runway. The aircraft was destroyed and all three crew members were killed.

The crew was completing a local training mission in the Ketchikan area. While flying at a relative low altitude, the student pilot initiated a steep 180 turn close to water when the airplane struck trees and crashed. Both pilots were seriously injured and the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

On final approach to Inigok Airstrip by night, the pilot-in-command failed to realize his altitude was insufficient when the four engine airplane struck obstacle on final approach, undershot and crashed in flames. All 15 occupants escaped with minor injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While approaching Chevak, the pilot encountered whiteout conditions and limited visibility due to snow falls. The pilot suffered a spatial disorientation and the airplane collided with ground while in traffic pattern-circling. Two passengers were killed while five other occupants were seriously injured.

Following an uneventful flight from Juneau, the crew completed the final approach and was attempting to land on runway 06R when the airplane rolled sharply and struck the ground. out of control, it crashed inverted in a snow covered area near the runway. Two passengers were seriously injured while five other occupants were killed.

While approaching Hydaburg in limited visibility, the single engine floatplane struck obstacles and crashed few miles from the airport. The aircraft was destroyed and all five occupants were killed.

While cruising unde VFR mode in poor weather conditions, the pilot lost control of the seaplane that entered a dive and crashed in flames in an isolated area located in the region of Cordova. SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended as no trace of the aircraft nor the three occupants was found. The wreckage was eventually localized on May 21, 1979.

While taking off at Napaskiak Airfield, the engine failed. The aircraft crash landed, struck a drainage ditch and came to rest. All seven occupants escaped uninjured or with minor injuries and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The twin engine airplane was completing a taxi flight from Anaktuvuk Pass to Barrow. On final approach to Barrow Airport in icing conditions, the airplane stalled and crashed in flames short of runway. The aircraft was destroyed, the pilot was killed and the passenger was seriously injured.
